It has been reported that Muslim families are leaving Britain to live in Syria. A family of 12 from Luton is believed to have gone to Syria to start a new life and they are aged between one and 75. The family from Bangladesh instead of coming back to Britain travelled to Syria from Turkey.
Relatives are complaining that the police has not done enough to stop them to go Syria. It is not the duty of the government to find out where the family is going. It is perfectly alright as long as the government is not spending taxpayer’s money to bring them back or waste police time to look for them and it is also a good news.
The family left Bangladesh two months ago and it took too long for one of their sons to find out where his old father was. Muslims in Luton are close knit families and they know each other through mosque and still the neighbours pretended as if they did not know much about them and even local Imams did not know them. The community claims that one of the members of the family might have been indoctrinated and if it is so by whom . Missing people are always ‘top blokes’ or ‘intelligent –A pupils, quiet and ‘lovely girls.’ France deports Imams found to be preaching hatred in their mosques and ban burka in public places and in schools. Britain is allowing extremist speakers and they are given platform at British universities. Students unions in new universities are taken by radical Islamists. The UK has got everything wrong. If Muslims want to go to Syria let them go and not spend money and resources to trace them.
